Golf was a primary interest for Don and Sherron in their retirement years and their social life revolved around their many friends on the golf course.

Lajitas, Texas and Naco, Arizona were places Don and Sherron spent winter seasons golfing. Playing golf, competing in golf tournaments, and socializing with friends kept Sherron active. Sherron enjoyed traveling the globe with her close friend and co-worker Margie Cherry before and after retirement.
